Studies highlight bacteria accelerate the leukemia development in mice through specific viruses

By helping with digestion, supplying nutrients and metabolites, and collaborating with the immune system to ward off pathogens, gut bacteria have a significant impact on health.

Characterizing the transcription profile of microglia in a mouse model

Researchers from Tohoku University have now shown that the consolidation and extinction of contextual fear conditioning alter the microglial genes connected to the synapse—structures that permit neurons to communicate with one another.

Antibiotics deplete intestinal flora and weaken the immune response

According to a recent study conducted by scientists at Emory University in Atlanta, the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics in mice with malignant melanoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer, expedited their metastatic bone growth.

Study insights suggest novel targets for anti-cancer therapies

According to a recent study, cancers can avoid both the immune system and cancer treatments that depend on it, including CAR T cells that have been genetically altered.

New insight into how immune systems of stickleback fish respond to tapeworm parasite

Lugging around a tapeworm that's one third your body weight can be a real drag. So threespine stickleback fish evolved resistance to tapeworms-;but resistance has costs of its own, a team of researchers show in Science on 8 September.

Researchers propose a way to identify Chlamydia, a deadly bacterial disease

Chlamydia, the most common bacterial infection associated with sexually transmitted diseases, hides inside human cells using a cloaking mechanism to avoid detection and destruction.

Microbiomes can help cure food allergies in mice

Many people with dietary allergies may have minor symptoms when they consume foods that trigger them, but for some, the consequences could be lethal. In lab experiments, a bacterial chemical called butyrate produced by healthy microbiomes has shown promise in preventing allergy reactions, but it is unpleasant to consume.

Study explains the dynamics underlying liver damage

The immune system may attack the liver when fat builds up there. The chemical that triggers these responses has been discovered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers in a recent study, and this information helps to explain the dynamics of liver damage that can accompany type 2 diabetes and obesity.

New method identifies human gut microbes that contribute to inflammatory diseases

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have created a way to determine the human gut microorganisms that are most likely to cause a variety of inflammatory disorders, including obesity, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, and several neurological conditions.

Lactate likely to be a bioenergetic and biosynthetic fuel for T cells

The immune cells that protect humans against infection and cancer look for a variety of fuel sources to power their operation, including those that were previously believed to be cellular waste products.

Researchers report the identification of novel small molecules that stimulate human adaptive immune responses

An antibody that is successfully used to treat a variety of tumors has been replaced with a tiny molecule that researchers from Tel Aviv University and the University of Lisbon have jointly found and manufactured.

Study finds a nutrition-based solution to restore milk production during warm weather

Rising temperatures pose major challenges to the dairy industry – a Holstein's milk production can decline 30 to 70% in warm weather – but a new Cornell University-led study has found a nutrition-based solution to restore milk production during heat-stress events, while also pinpointing the cause of the decline.

Research findings likely to help identify key differences between effective and flawed immune systems

T cells, a special class of white blood cells, defend the body and kill infected or foreign tissue. In an organ called the thymus, they learn to distinguish between proteins that are helpful and those that are harmful.

Researchers develop targeted immunotherapy to destroy tumor cells

A minimally invasive technique was created and improved by scientists at Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) to develop immunotherapeutic cancer treatments.

Active immune cells provide great protection against ischemic stroke

According to research published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation by neurologists and immunologists at the University of Pittsburgh, a special subgroup of white blood cells provides mice with quick-acting and long-lasting protection against ischemic stroke.
